I have found many odd parasites in fish from this res, I stopped fishing there because of it (little red worms routinely). Any one have similar experiences here? I eat what I catch and it was too abnormal for me...

Were the little red worms in the meat or were they puking them up when you brought the fish in. The jumbo perch i've hauled of the bottom of the deepest parts of Carmi were all puking up those worms. Food source I suppose. I threw on a red plastic tail to my jig and it did improve the fishing a bit.

They were inside the meat. I could get most of them out by filleting them (most were in the rib area) but they were too weird for me to consume the fish. I also started seeing the black spots and common worms more. Adding it all together I stopped fishing there. Beautiful spot to go though, I will still go there for kayaking and tubing behind a boat but not to get my food.
